Siena’s Hymes taken off on stretcher

LOUDONVILLE – Siena sophomore guard Evan Hymes was taken off the Times Union Center court on a stretcher with an apparent left leg injury with 12:05 left in Friday night’s game against Vermont.

Hymes went down after landing without contact from an opposing player. The training staff applied ice to the back of the left leg of Hymes, who lay on the court in obvious pain for a few minutes before being carted off.

Freshman walk-on Chris Leppanen checked in for Siena.

Hymes had 11 points as the Siena grabbed a 30-24 halftime lead after leading by as many as 16.
